like ok, im not sure what it is,but with certain games,it always gives me a cannot create,or path error when installing and patching games.

lost saga i get

and on system req labs for sims 3 i get,now for siims 3 it might just say that cause i see vista compatible. Same problem for aion as well.

now SOME people say for stuff like sims 3 it will still work.

It's a new OS, this should be expected due to core changes etc.
W7 is way more popular then Vista ever was so they'll fix it rather quick.

Aion does work on W7 btw.

but in terms of things, shouldnt certain things still be similar with vista???
like why can I run perfect world.

It should be similar, but like I said, core changes can do quite a bit causing applications not to run like how they should.

All you can do is hope for a playermade/official fix.

Easy, dont install it into the program files folder. There have been many problems with not being able to write to that particular folder. I believe it involves the trusted installer usergroup.

Its a bunch of bullshit really, I hate the security measures implemented in Windows 7. Its as if they assume I am some sort of retard who doesn't know how to not get hacked.

you may not be, but there are plenty more out there who are that retarded. And when they do get hacked, because they decided to install some programme that a nigerian prince gave them, which actually turns out to be a trojan or a keylogger, they'll blame it on Microsoft's lack of security. So microsoft's just covering its bases, so it doesnt get sued by idiots with keyboards.

Have you tried disabling windows firewall and the windows defender stuff

zipykido · 11-07-2009, 02:58 PM

Run them as administrator.

If you have windows 7 professional, it will actually load up windows xp in a shell to run your games that don't work properly, if you set up the program to run in compatibility mode.
